    Wake and Bacon
    James K.

    Came here for the Elite event. So good! Just down the road from my house. Walked in and was pleasantly greeted with a smile and good morning. Everyone in the shop was kind and friendly even with them being busy! The coffee was actually delicious (unlike those mainstream places) as was the breakfast sando. I'll definitely be back to this groovy little coffee shop. Oh! Also picked up this little hand knit Koozie as a gift for someone:)

    Wake & Bacon Breakfast Sandwich

    What a cute spot tucked in this shopping center! We ordered an iced high tide latte (coconut vanilla) and the wake & bacon sandwich. The syrups and sauces are made in-house, and you could totally taste the difference - I have to ask for extra chipotle sauce next time! My drink was perfectly sweet and creamy, and the employees were so kind and generous, even with the crazy line this morning. I'll be back to try the honey cinnamon latte :))

    - plaza parking so there's plenty of spots even on a weekend afternoon! - such a cool 90s inspired space (had street fighter you can play!) with thoughtfully designed merch - great and friendly service! - really cool and unique variety of drinks and syrups as well! I stuck to a classic iced caramel latte to taste their espresso and syrups - 10/10 drink - really strong yet smooth espresso that blended so well with that silky sweet (but not too sweet) caramel

    Wake and bacon with chipotle on the side...bomb!!

    Just had the El Santo again, this time the 16 oz (with oat milk) which I was told now has 4 shots of espresso!! Never had that many, so game on!! So good! Also got the wake and bacon with the chipotle on the side and that was sooo good too! I don't usually like chipotle but this was the best chipotle I've ever had! Less smokey more spicy but perfect amount of spicy! Great way to start the day! Yay! :) Staff is very nice and restroom super clean!

    Had breakfast and coffee here and it was so busy here so told me it was definitely worth the wait. Didn't have a long wait for our coffee or at least it didn't feel like it. Had the Wake and Bacon & the Big Hot Mess sandwiches and wow, what a party in my mouth. The Wake and Bacon had the perfect texture of crispy bacon with chipotle sauce, omg so good! The Big Hot Mess was sweet & spicy at the same time, to me it was the perfect amount of spice but my husband likes spicy so he wanted like hot sauce to add to it. So we got lucky and they gifted us 2 additional drinks to our order. Coffee was strong but didn't taste too strong! They hit the nail on the head with their espresso to milk ratios, so good. I'd recommend the The Dream out of the 4 drinks I had there. How fun was it to play Street Fighter on Superninetdo btw? LOVED the 90s art.

    Very cute art work, This has got to be one of the prettiest lattes ;) service was good

    The high tide and fuzzy friend

    My husband and I came in on our way to Costco for our morning coffee. We use to come to this location every morning before work when it was the coffee bean. When we walked in, it was pretty busy which is a good sign. We were greeted by the owner, Mike. He walked us through the menu since it was our first time. It's very cool to learn more about their products. Mike was so passionate about what they have created. I felt like our time here was a whole experience! If your wanting to enjoy your coffee with a little something extra, I'd deffinitly recommend this spot. I got the high tide which is the coconut vanilla latte and my husband got the fuzzy friend which is the sparkling americano. We loved the unique twists they put into their coffee. When you drink coffee everyday, it's refreshing to try something new! We will deffinitly return!

    A cozy space with a snug, yet welcoming seating layout, a menu filled with coffee varieties & a few breakfast sandwiches, sweet treats by the counter, and fast, friendly service. For this visit, I was after the sweet treats... THE FOOD. - Funfetti Bundt Cake. Soft, buttery vanilla cake with a light sweetness & sprinkles baked in, giving it a birthday cake vibe. - Peanut Butter & Chocolate Bundt Cake. Rich with a pronounced peanut butter flavor that stood out against the chocolate. THE PARKING. Free parking was available out front, but the green curb limited stays to 30 minutes. Longer-term parking was available nearby. THE VERDICT. With its warm, inviting atmosphere, this local coffee shop offers the kind of charm often missing from larger chain shops. I'd happily return to try more menu items.

    Great local spot for quality lattes. Psychedelic nostalgic vibes. Hidden in a large shopping center between CVS and Planet Fitness. Parking is plentiful. Moderate amount of seating with a few indoor tables as well as a side patio. Loved the seasonal eggnog latte. Their signature macadamia nut latte is stellar as well. Only downside is they don't have my preferred milk options (nonfat or soy), but I settle for the 2% option. They also have whole, almond, and oat milk. Service is always stellar!

    Brown sugar rosemary matcha latte with oat milk

    5/5 stars! My first time in and Jessica was so lovely she walked me through all the homemade syrups, explained how the matcha is ceremonial grade, all the beans are roasted in house, and even the cream cheese flavors are made in house. The matcha is easily the best I've had in all of San Diego and I've been to many many places! I love the vibe and atmosphere, truly a hidden gem. Great service and product.

    Really enjoyed the bean and brew here! Got a seasonal banana latte, everything was balance and not too sweet. I recommended this place to my friend, he came shortly after and also enjoyed. They sell food here too which I heard/saw others ordering. Drinks don't come out ask quick as Starbucks but not too slow either. Employees are nice. Loved that they have indoor and outdoor seating.

    Pretty chill cafe. The iced latte was decent, not sweet at all. I like the space and the vibe. They put a lot of effort into the decor.

    Do you have any sugar-free syrup?

    Yes! We have sugar free vanilla

    Can you guys make horchata lattes?

    Yes, it is one of our specialty drinks called the El Santo! :)

So, we get there and see a pretty good and see a steady line coming out the door, okay cool. However in what we tried it's just an okay spot. I would say they have a great business model and have cool merch and crazy cool art and stuff but the drinks weren't anything special like what we expected. My wife got the matcha latte with honey and it was not well made. Seems like they feel more is better when it comes to putting matcha in the drink. More is not better. It just makes the matcha taste like grass. Ground powdered matcha is basically a concentrate and needs to be treated that way. Had my review been just on her drink it would be a one star. Her drink is exactly why a lot of people say matcha is not good. A well made matcha should be delicious. I got a vanilla latte and it was just okay. Tasted fine but wasn't anything that would have me wanted to come back for more. I do have to give it to them for the latte artwork as they do great on that. But the drink was just okay. We also got an heirloom blueberry and corn scone which was good but the corn makes it a bit gritty like corn bread, which I like although it could throw someone off if they are not expecting it. The other pastries all looked pretty good and we saw some breakfast sandwiches coming out that did look good too.

The coffee is marginal although it will get you through. I'm kind of a purist, so I go for espresso only or Americanos where I can control water content. None of those foofy cappafrappachinoicees for me. My main gripe is that sometimes their Americanos taste too watered down. One great thing about drinking coffee here though is that you get to use their own packages spices, which are quite good.
